Phoenix by Arabian Oud {R}

I must admit, I have felt so lost within myself,

I can not see a world beyond this darkness,

I wake up everyday hoping for brightness,

But soon these hopes dash in a deeper place,

Could you win my trust back and let me know,

How it feels to be loved and admired again?

I must admit, this long night is never ending,

This stormy night instills fear in my soul,

This place called 'home' is full of silence & me,

I wish I was able to forget those emotions like a nightmare,

That haunted me for several months as they left,

I wish I could wipe away those memories one day,

I must admit, this longing & yearning does instill pain,

But I knew this was the only way out of my emptiness,

The ink's dried and my emotions stagnant,

I need to escape from my own cage called 'body',

To rise again like a phoenix.

MISUNDERSTOOD- by Arabian Oud {R}

MISUND ERSTOOD At first they you pretend you care, But in reality you were ignorant, You offered help by lipservice, Nothing practical at all, Everytime I was depressed, You thought it was plain drama, Kept saying 'grow up girl', Changes were noticed slowly, The one day you went away, Here I was seeking love and support, Even my friends abandoned me, Everytime they met,it was about them, I pondered on what I had achieved, But there was no answer at all, They don't understand my problems, They never asked, expecting my life go-lucky, Here I am, Sitting on the bed, surrounded by dark walls, Tears keep flowing down nonstop, Wished there was someone by my side, Wiping them away, hearing my pain out, They call me names and think I am bad, They simply don't know my story, Love they say, is a medicine, But I seest that not, it only gives pain, They all called me immature and left, My heart was broken, the music stopped playing, Violins of my heart cried out so bad, Wished, the...

The heart an empty vessel by Arabian Oud {R}

The heart an empty vessel The heart is now an empty vessel, A single sound of screech laments, My soul is in an endless sorrow, My inspiration and my glimmer of hope, All washed away by the sea shore, All my hopes dashed into tiny pieces, There is darkness within the heart, Memories reside within of him, He was my inspiration and soul mate, But its always the same story, False promises, abandonment and loneliness, He said 'he was different', I believed him, Less did I know, That my fate was cursed till Doomsday, No mantra can undo my blackened luck, Love, you play games with me, Disguised in different faces, You cheat me, I wound I surrender to my defeat and darkness My heart is an empty vessel, A cursed organ..
